Opener will be pessimistic with a singleton ♥ in this auction and might pass.

See, now I'm confused.

The title says "Forcing or not"
The text of the initial post says "forcing or not".
The answers in the text imply the question is GAME FORCING or not.

I think this is 100% 1 round forcing, but I think opener can pass a 3♦, 3♥, or 3♠ bid. He obviously cannot pass 3♣ and I have no idea about 2NT.

JT, the question was whether the 3♠ rebid by responder is forcing.

This situation is interesting. There's a natural tendency for it to be forcing, but then you realize that responder could have cued instead of supporting to estabilish a force, so it's not so clear.

This is an obvious raise to 4 after hearing 2♠ from opener :P
